I'm new here as well. Being a working professional is difficult with RA as well as when you start aggressive treatment. Don't be afraid to take medical leave/short term disability when you need it. I don't know of any groups, but I'm sure if you made a posts asking if others were interested in starting a group that you wouldn't have difficulty finding others :)

Welcome!
You may want to check out LoriMacLean RA on YouTube and the articles on this site as there is a lot of good information as well as support here.
I know some of the members use other platforms, such as facebook, but we are here to lend support and answer your questions, if we can.
We can certainly share our stories, you will find that we all react differently to the medications we take for RA. There are items that make using our hands, staying mobile, etc. that we will gladly direct you too.
Good communication with your Rheumatologist is key to your care.
I hope this helps.
